Very nice bridge layout. It does look like it is based on the USS Excalibur bridge from Double with some variations. I like the 3D as well as the overhead. Very Fact Files.

Nice execution but I have a couple of issues with it-
The rear conference lounge should be more toward the direct aft of the bridge to match the exterior windows.
The ready room is gigantic- mabye a perk of the Amby class, I suppose, but the room could be pared down some and the restroom should be expanded (one toilet for so many officers could be bad in a crisis situation). Or you could lose that third turbolift (unless it's a giant toilet for non-humanoid crewmembers).
I'd make the outer hull a lot thinner- it's 4-6 ft. thick at the scale shown. Not required by the TNG era.
The captain has a model of the Crystaline Entity in his office? Cool.

That sounds good. I would be interesting to see it with those nits addressed.

Jason: You do realize that that toilet is accessible only through the ready room, right? I rather doubt it's used by the whole bridge crew.

There must be a captain's rest room and the crew's, to make it a little more sensible.

I haven't seen any windows on the bridge of Ambassador model, so I haven't fitted the lounge to the middle (well I tried for the first time, but the person who I do it for, wanted a sofa in ready room )
I know the outer hull don't have to be so thick. It's because the bridge space is a half sphere and I don't wanna skewed walls.
Yeah, there is not enough space for crew's rest room. (But it hasn't been in TOS classes either) so it's located on Deck 2 just next to the ramp
Finally it's not the USS Excalibur bridge. It's made for my friend who's playing on-line Trek game (in Slovak ) and it should be the TNG era Ambassador refit (to fit TNG standards). It's name is Equilibrium (he doesn't care if the name is official )
Ok, here is the english versions of bridge engineering (combination of EF2 USS Dallas (Excalibur class) eng. and TNG era eng.) sickbay

The picture you linked is the USS Excalibur bridge. Nicely done though.

That :first time" version does not work in that only the captain has access to the lone bathroom.
...and that's cause for mutiny! (thus the true story of the destruction of the USS Pegasus is revealed)

Well, it's the same way on the final version, as I mentioned earlier. As he said, the bathroom for the rest of the crew is on the next level.

Omi, you are right- there is no rear windows on the Amby (looks lie it was a liberty of the aftermarket decalers that I used on my model!).
There are those off front-facing windows though. A cool circular hallway around the bridge's front half with framed photos and windows would be cool and would hatch the studio model- kind of a cross betwen the model display on the "E" and the officer's lounge full of memoribilia in STV)

Do you have any picture? I don't see them (those off front-facing windows - I don't know where to look for them) I see only those on deck 2.
Wow, if there should be the hallway in front of the bridge, there would be not enough space for the conference lounge, and it will have to be also on deck 2...
And I'm sorry, in Czech republic there is no possibility to have any access to Fact files/ST Magazine. I can use only what I find on internet. (if that was meant to me)
